JAKARTA -- With the coronavirus-induced shortage of shipping containers wreaking havoc on cargo transport to and from Indonesia, companies operating in the country expect further disruptions to their supply chains during an upcoming holiday to mark the end of Ramadan.
Demand for furniture, electronics and other household items has surged during the pandemic as more people bunker down at home, fueling a global container shortage. Efforts to curb the spread of the virus at ports have lengthened loading and unloading times, exacerbating the logistical logjam.
